A Mrs. Sisder living near Hszelhurss,

her husband for a divorce. She and her
husband are both very old and have been
married but short time She sets out
IN her bill that she and SIaGa were mar
gied az certain time, ana that she wants
total divorce upon the following
grounds:
The first ground IS that at the time OF
their marriage, by reason Of her eyesight,
she was not able to tell lust
what kind CT z looking msn Siade was,
ana that since their marriage she
learns That ne has wart on
his nose and was even red-headed. The
second is that he shores in MS sleep
and that il is impossible for her TO sleep
with him. The third ground is that ne
falls TO give her the attention that 9 good
wife should have, and that he mas never
kissed her since the day they were mar
ried. The fourth and last ground is that
she wants 10 marry again, and believes it
will promote the ENDS o. good society 10
declare the marriage void and allow her
10 marry some one without g W3rt on bis
nose, that does not SuOre in his sleep. and
che that Will love her just IS long SIS she
can stand It.

verify to the attacks upon mT. Stones
veracity, declaring that the statement Coy
General Butler thst his (StoDe'S) inter
est bad affected his conscience was an
uncalled for, unhecoming assault upon q
gentleman of reEpsCta biiity. He asserted
thst the service in The BoT'On, IS CON-
pared with that in the common Ger, was
not like service and therefore there
could be no discrimination ard could, as
& consequence, be no case.
George c. Green, representing the
I Lske Snore Road, followed. He declared
that Burton and his manager In Chicago
knew that the system OF charges to which
objection was made were fixed for the
convenience Of patrons of the Burton
( Company. II 1t were true as alleged by
the complainant that 100 r0sds were
hauling the Burton cars and paying mile
age while the company, as appeared BY
the testimony Of Burton, possessed only
eight cars, the public ought not 20 be
seriously iDc0mm0ded because other
roads did not haul them. There were
twenty more roads on the list tne0 there
were cars 20 De hsuled.
John 5. Blair, representing the Union
Pacific and the Missouri Pacific, waiving
81 questions as to the sufliciency of the
evidence for re purpose Of establishing
cOmplsinants' allegations, argued briefly
the question of jurisdiction and more q!
length the justice of the rate charged TO
the Burton people. The excess com
planned of was for hauling the car empty
one way. 1t had been shown that about
half the gross weight OF II loaded freight
train consisted of the train Itself. Now
if it were just to charge SO per carload
fer haul OF 80 miles, the charge of 20
per cent. for hauling the empty car the
other way wss not unjust.
Judge Shelaberger, representing The
same road, argued that while the Burton
Company was not a common carrier in
its primary capacity, yet, when 1t came,
as in this complaint, before the commits
si0r, representing that its cars were &C
cepted by 100 railroads., it came as COM
mon carrier, and was therefore the sub
jeCt of the provision of the inter state law
which relieved railroad companies from
the necessity Of furnishing tracks and
terminal facilities IT, their rivals. Nc
member Of the commission would risk
his life upon railroad whose tracks
were open TO the use % every conner.

The old practical joke of half dozen

WAS played with entire success I few
evenings ago IN Harlem, says the New

and most unweIcome storm wss commu-
nicated 10 others by those Of the audience
who first saw the umbrellas, and in that
way it became the exciting and exClu-
siye subject Of conversation through
out the building. Gentlemen
carefully covered their silk tiles with
their handkerchiefs, rolled up the ends OF
the legs of their trousers and turned up
their coat collars Ladies prepared them
selves in the conventional way for pro-
voking walk to the cars and others sent
their gallant escorts flying after UNI
brellas, coaches and Waterproofs. In
about ten minutes the real state of things,

resolve on the part of the weatherbound

Alcohol.

Alcohol was invented $50 years ago by
the son Of strange woman, Hagar, in
Arabia. Ladies used it with powder to
paint themselves, that they might appear
more beautiful, aud this powder was
called alcohol. During tue reign of Will
lam and Mary ST. act was passed enCCur-
aging the manufacture OF spirits Soon
after intemperaHCe ana prvtilgacy pre-
vailed to such al extent that .hs To-
taiier5 Of intoxicating drinks q put
up signs in public places informing
the people that they might get druuk
for q penny and nave some straw 20 get
sober on. II the Sixteenth century dis
TILED spirits spread over the continent OF
Europe. ADOTc this time it was intro
dUced into the Colonies, rs the UniUed
States we're then called. Tne first notice
we have Of its use ia public life was
among the iGbOrers Of the Hungarian
mines Of the fifteenth century. In lT5l
II was used by the English soldiers as e
cordial. The alcohol il Europe was made
Of grapes, and sold IN Italy and Spain as
. medicine. The GcnOcse aiterWard
made it from grain ao6 sold it
as g medicine in bottles, under
the name Of the water Of Life.D
Until the sixteenth century IS had oalv
been kept by the apothsCarias Is medi-
cine. During the reign Of Henry VII
brsnty was unknown ID Ireland, and
soon its alarming effect induced the
government to pass law prohibiting its
manufacture About 100 years ago it was
used as q beverage, especially among the
soldiers in the English colonies in North
America, under tde pTeposteraus notion
that it prevents sickness, and made men
fearless on the field OF battle. 1t WAC

The absurd extremes to which aristo-
cratic ideas often go in Europe are well
illustrated in the case of Princess Henri
eta oisSchlesWig- Holstein, etc. She mar
ried Professor Esmark, one Of Germany s
greatest surgeons, and was henCeforth
snub0ed and Rvoi Ell by her fam
lily. And now the services Of EsmaI <
are wanted ia the illness of the Crown
Prince, and the naughty family
of the Princess Henrietta have changed
fheir demeanOr and have begun to show
o marked cordially towards the wife of
the great scientist. The physical condi-
tion of the aristocracY of Europe is such
that the naughty defendants of blood as
impure as it is blue cannot afford to snub
the medical profession. Modern science

they could give half they had and then be
benefited by the Tailruad. The Post Oak
people fell 20 grasp the idea, aud say
they don't want the road. The opinion

The Car Stove go Go.

The deadly car stove has been banish nee
by lsw from the imperial state OF New
York. The Governor signed the bill on
Monday, but the act does not 20 into
eject 3until 3neXt May. Until then the
railroads are expected to busy them
selves in finding e substitute for stoves
for heatiEg their passenger cars. Their
TASK ought not % be 3 difficult one. /.
has been demonstrated that steam from
the locomotive can be used success fUIly
in heating whole trains IN q New England
mid-winter. The question is Eut whether
there is any substitute for stoves, bat
what is the best substitute.
The New York law imposes fine OF
$1,000 on any rai.lcad company whose
line exceeds fifty niles IN length which
shall neat it's assenger cars on other
than mixed trains by any stove or furnace
kept inside the car, AID further penalty
of 500 day for each day such violation
of the law shall continue. The stoves
will be suffered 20 remain in the cars tor
the purpose Of supplying heat when the
engine is not attached, which provision
meets one difficulty which has been held
TO be insuperable IN the scheme OF heat
ing the cSrS frOm the locomotive. This

Legislature did not eEsct one like il. The
railroad companies will DO well, however,
TO abolish ;he car stove without waiting
for legislation. l. ought 10 be given no
place in the furnishing OF passenger
trains next winter.
New York has had several bad scGi-
dents within lis limits IN recent years, all
showing what awful peril to passengers
there is in hot stove in moving car.
The wholesale cremation of passengers
in the Woodstock railroad wreck on the
Vermont Central last winter is, however,
the inspiring cause of the new law. II is
surprising that the New York Legislature
is the only one which has profted by that
lesson; but, now chat it has set the eX
ample, there is no doubt that other states
will follow suit, unless the railroad com.
panies shall themselves take the initiative
and prevent anti-csr-stove legislation by
taking away the necessity for it Phila-
